Cary B. Hall's answer
I can only answer as to Pennsylvania law. Title 18, section 4913 ("Impersonating a notary public or a holder of a professional or occupational license") is probably what you're looking for.
If you're looking for a similar statute in Maryland, I suggest posting your question in the Maryland law section. Best of luck to you.

You have an attorney
Why have you not asked your attorney?
Without ALL the facts and other information it would be impossible to advise properly.
It would like going to a doctor solely with the urine test results and then asking how one's health is.
I guess if 2 cases were dropped, you should continue to fight the others

In most jurisdictions a complaint may be amended anytime up through judgment as long the amendment conforms to the proofs. In your situation depending on your state's procedural law, I think it would be routine to amend your complaint to raise the ad damnum (or the claim for damages) that are in keeping with what you believe to be your damages for your injuries. In my county where I principally practice, a complaint for damages other than in contract would be alleged to be an amount in excess...

Yes,
You can get sued if you are from a different country barring diplomatic immunity, but for the common traveler/tourist, yes you can be sued as long as you meet the minimum contacts in the states. The main question on this is Jurisdiction and service of process. An analysis would fill several pages, but suffice it to say that if you are in the U.S. and the incident causing the suit happened in the U.S. then you can be sued.

Any citation is an accusation charging you with a misdemeanor offense or a city or county ordinance violation which can range in punishment from a fine and up to 12 months in jail. You never mentioned what you were charged with or the jurisdiction. I would encourage you to contact a lawyer in the jurisdiction where the charges are pending.

You notice there is a limitation of amount of characters. That is so you can write your question without all the extraneous material like "poor boy" and "not to mention many hours of legal work".
I am not trying to be an English teacher, but you have run on sentences, no punctuation, no capitalization and abbreviations which are not universal. I cannot understand what you are asking.
I suggest you rewrite the question succinctly and grammatically correct

It probably doesn’t require a report unless it is cash equivalent, including bullion. But, all you need to do as far as CBP cares is declare it. There is no duty, so why wouldn’t you declare it anyway to avoid confusion. If you transport more than $10,000, at once or in a pattern of shipments, without declaring it, it is subject to seizure and you can be charged with a Federal crime.

Q: Refusing a US visa application after requesting to cancel the visa process
Hector E. Quiroga's answer
It may or may not.
First of all, you say it was rejected, not denied. If that’s the case, it could have been rejected because you asked the consulate to cease processing your application.
If it was denied, that’s different, but it unlikely that it was denied without an interview. The only thing you can really do is, when you are ready to travel again, apply again. Visas are usually good for ten years, so even if intended travel is postponed or canceled, the visa can be...
